Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 11:36

"And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done."It is not possible to apply these words to Antiochus Epiphanes. His attack was not against "all gods," for he erected an image of Zeus in the Temple itself. Antiochus directed his attack against the true God, not against the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:32-33

Daniel 11:32-33. Such as do wickedly, &c.— All these things are applicable to the Christian Jews; for now the daily sacrifice was taken away, the temple was given to desolation, and the Christian church had succeeded in the place of the Jewish; the new covenant in the room of the old. The Roman magistrates and officers, that power who took away the daily sacrifice, made use of the most alluring promises, as well as the most terrible threats to corrupt, and prevail upon the primitive... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:34-35

Daniel 11:34-35. When they shall fall, &c.— The church had laboured under long and severe persecutions from the civil power. The tenth and last was begun by Dioclesian; it raged ten years, and was suppressed entirely by Constantine, the first Roman emperor who embraced Christianity; and then the church was protected and favoured by the civil arm. But this is called only a little help; because, though it added much to the temporal prosperity, yet it contributed little to the spiritual graces... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 11:36

Daniel 11:36. The king shall do, &c.— The prophet was speaking of the persecutions which should be permitted for the trial of the church after the empire was become Christian; and now he proceeds to describe the principal author of them. A king or kingdom, as we have before observed, signifies any government, state, or potentate; and the meaning of this verse we conceive to be, that after the empire was become Christian, there should spring up in the church an antichristian power, which... read more

33. they that understand—who know and keep the truth of God ( :-). instruct many—in their duty to God and the law, not to apostatize. yet they shall fall—as Eleazar (2 Maccabees 6:18, c.). They shall be sorely persecuted, even to death (Hebrews 11:35 Hebrews 11:36; Hebrews 11:37; 2 Maccabees 6, 7). Their enemies took advantage of the Sabbath to slay them on the day when they would not fight. TREGELLES thinks, from comparison with Hebrews 11:37- :, it is the people who "fall," not those of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:34

34. a little help—The liberty obtained by the Maccabean heroes for the Jews was of but short duration. They soon fell under the Romans and Herodians, and ever since every attempt to free them from Gentile rule has only aggravated their sad lot. The period of the world times (Gentile rule) is the period of depression of the theocracy, extending from the exile to the millennium [ROOS]. The more immediate reference seems to be, the forces of Mattathias and his five sons were originally few (1... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 11:36

36. The wilful king here, though primarily Antiochus, is antitypically and mainly Antichrist, the seventh head of the seven-headed and ten-horned beast of :-, and the "beast" of Armageddon (Revelation 16:13; Revelation 16:16; Revelation 19:19). Some identify him with the revived French emperorship, the eighth head of the beast (Revelation 17:11), who is to usurp the kingly, as the Pope has the priestly, dignity of Christ—the false Messiah of the Jews, who will "plant his tabernacle between the... read more
